Norton 961 Commando

Norton Motorcycles, the name synonymous with the British sport motorcycling culture, and affectionately known as the “Snortin’ Nortons” while dominating world road racing for decades, resumed production of the Norton Commando in 2009. The first Norton motorcycle, the ‘Engerette’, rolled out of its Birmingham England factory in 1902. It’s fitting that the new engineering facilities and factory for Norton are based at spiritual center of British motorsport, the world famous Donington Park racing circuit, and so near the traditional heart of the British motorcycle industry in Birmingham.
